Welcome to Broad Street Review — an arts and culture website for thinking people with strong opinions.

Since its launch in 2005, BSR has sought to promote the exchange of viewpoints rather than any particular point of view. To that end, we welcome commentary from professionals and amateurs alike about the performing and visual arts, as well as any other field of interest to our eclectic group of contributors.
